NEW SERVICE - Electronic Prescribing (EPS) - What does this mean for you.

If you collect your repeat prescriptions from the surgery you do not have to visit the practice to pick up your paper prescription. Instead your GP will send it electronically to the place you choose, saving you time. The service may not be suitable if you dont have a stable condition or you pick up your medication from different places.

You will have more choice about where to get your medicines from beacause they can be collected from a pharmacy near where you live, work or shop.

You may not have to wait as long in the pharmacy as their will be time for your repeat prescriptions to be ready before you arrive.
